3. The optimal direction for solar panel placement in the
Northern Hemisphere is south-facing. The opposite is true
for panel orientation in the Southern Hemisphere.
4. The optimal solar panel tilt angle can be approximated as
the latitude of the location in degrees relative to ground.

b. Mount installation
i. If you will be mounting the node onto
a pole, fit the 2 adjustable hose clamps
through the 4 rectangular eyelets
(slots) on the back of the mount.
ii. Ensure that the silver clamp knob is
facing down towards
ground level. You may also
use stainless steel bands
that are rated to hold at
least 100 kg (220 lbs).
iii. Ensure that the pole can
support at least 32 kg (70
lbs) prior to installation.
Tighten the hose clamps
or steel banding securely
around it and torque as
much as possible.
iv. The mount included can
be attached to poles with a minimum diameter of 10 cm (4
in) or to a wall via the 75 mm VESA mount standard.
v. If you are mounting via VESA support, use 4 M8 (⅜ in) bolts
of at least 80 mm (3 in) length through the 4 holes around
the “++” cutout on the back of the mount. The face of the
mount should be parallel to the wall.
